Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Attention=2C?=
Attn:
This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the
fact that we have not yet met, but kindly consider the
message, because, I am determined to live for
posterity.
I wish to plead wit h you to join me in not only
serving humanity, but to also benefit in the process.
This message could be strange but reality will
definitely dawn on you, if you pay some attention to
its contents.
Please accept my sincere apologies in bringing this
message to you; I have to say that I do not intend to
cause you any personal pains or discomfort.
I am Mr.Norman Briggs, former Special Assistant to the
Liberian President, Mr. Charles Taylor, who just
stepped down from the office of the President due to
rebel's insurgency who wants to overthrow his
government. President Charles Taylor, in his bid to
fend-off rebel insurgency, and since he could no
longer trust the army generals, confidentially put in
my care, the sum of $15,000,000.00 (Fifteen Million
United Stated Dollars)in one instance for the purpose
of purchasing arms and ammunitions should the need
arise.
However, unfortunately, the need did not arise as he
has gone on exile.I deposited the US$15 million in Two
trunk boxes in a secret location and just two of us
knew about it, and I could not get in touch with any
arms dealer before the President was indicted in a war
crime tribunal set up by the United Nations(UN). I
have since held on to this trunk boxes, which I was
able to transport out of Liberia with the aid of peace
keeping soldiers under disguise of conveying my
personal effects without anybody knowing, to a
security deposit company offshore.
Presently I am In one of the West African Countries
Cotonou Benin Republic and I have borne the burden for
too long. Meanwile, I do not want to keep the funds
any longer, but I can never turn it over to the brutal
and tyrannical rogue regime of Mr. Charles Taylor who
is still committing all sorts of atrocities on the
Liberian people.
I am NOT soliciting for your help to wage a war
against the regime, but to act as a foreign partner,
to allow me transfer the funds to you, which you will
in turn donate a portion of it as a humanitarian
gesture to the Liberian people by purchasing such
essential needs like blankets, milk and so on,
water-pumping machines and agricultural equipment,
from the money after deducting your expenses and the
commission,which I am proposing to offer you 30% of
the total sum.
Please note that I could have approached the Red Cross
Society, but I changed my mind on that after
calculating what they would deduct as commission, and
also, after rationalisation the scandal that followed
their mismanagement of the donations meant for the
victims of the September 11th attack on the United
States. Also, note that this offer will give you a
double-edged advantage:
1. As the benefactor of the Liberian people and;
2. The commission you stand to earn.
On getting a positive response from you, I will send
to you the necessary documents such as; certificate of
deposit of the two trunk boxes to the security company
e.t.c.
Please note that confidentiality and honesty are
fundamental rules in this transaction. Be assured
that I am a reputable personality in this country and
I am mindful of the legal implications of this
transaction, as I intend taking
care of all the legal documentations. I am therefore
soliciting your assistance to have this money
collected by you and facilitate the transfer into your
personal private trusted account.
***PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR CONFIDENTIALITY IN THIS
TRANSACTION IS HIGHLY
REQUIRED.
I will give you the details of this transaction on
receipt of your response to this proposal. Thank you
very much for your time and understanding. Please
